This book presents emerging concepts in data mining, big data analysis, communication, and networking technologies, and discusses the state-of-the-art in data engineering practices to tackle massive data distributions in smart networked environments. It also provides insights into potential data distribution challenges in ubiquitous data-driven networks, highlighting research on the theoretical and systematic framework for analyzing, testing and designing intelligent data analysis models for evolving communication frameworks. Further, the book showcases the latest developments in wireless sensor networks, cloud computing, mobile network, autonomous systems, cryptography, automation, and other communication and networking technologies. In addition, it addresses data security, privacy and trust, wireless networks, data classification, data prediction, performance analysis, data validation and verification models, machine learning, sentiment analysis, and various data analysis techniques.

This book is a compilation of peer reviewed papers presented at International Conference on Machine Intelligence and Data Science Applications (MIDAS 2021), held in Comilla University, Cumilla, Bangladesh during 26 - 27 December 2021. The book covers applications in various fields like image processing, natural language processing, computer vision, sentiment analysis, speech and gesture analysis, etc. It also includes interdisciplinary applications like legal, healthcare, smart society, cyber physical system and smart agriculture, etc. The book is a good reference for computer science engineers, lecturers/researchers in machine intelligence discipline and engineering graduates.

The Open-Winged Scorpion and Other Stories is a collection of ten powerful Bengali short stories, all translated into English for the first time. Hailing from Murshidabad district in West Bengal, Abul Bashar pens stories about precarious lives of marginal Muslim communities in that district. His tales are shot through with the fears, dreams, hopes, and anxieties of the communities he portrays: their poverty and piety, the sensuality of the ancient mythologies they reimagine and remember, the rituals that permeate their lives, and the ever-present influence of the River Padma, which brings the silt that makes the land flourish--and the floods that destroy the crops and the people who plant them. The complex dynamics of the trivial and the transcendental emerge in Bashar's stories, as the tales become no less than an archive and richly imagined historical testimony of an abject community relegated to the margins of the society too focused on the future to remember people who are struggling in the here and now.
